(NOVOSIBIRSK AND BRYANSK, RUSSIAN FEDERATION) – Explosions occurred at critical railway facilities in two regions of the Russian Federation on 20 and 28 November, destroying fuel and lubricant depots and damaging railway tracks. The incidents disrupted freight train movements, particularly affecting logistical support for the Russian occupation army, according to Ukrainian intelligence sources cited by UNN.
The first explosion took place on 20 November on the West Siberian Railway in the village of Baryshovo, Novosibirsk Oblast. Ukrainian intelligence sources reported that the blast destroyed sections of the railway tracks, making it impossible for freight trains to pass and significantly affecting enemy supply lines.
The second explosion occurred on 28 November at the Unecha junction station on the Moscow Railway (Bryansk branch) along the Bryansk-Gomel route, used to transport fuel, lubricants, and military equipment to Belarus. Sources indicate that the attack destroyed at least two fuel and lubricant tanks and caused further damage to railway tracks, creating logistical difficulties for Russian forces.
Local residents have reported the incidents on social networks, despite Russian security services’ attempts to conceal the damage. Eyewitness accounts have confirmed the sound and impact of the explosions.
The incidents follow previous actions by the ATESH partisan movement, which earlier burned a military electric locomotive on railway tracks in the Russian city of Bryansk.
| Date | Location | Facility Affected | Damage | Impact |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 20 Nov 2025 | Baryshovo, Novosibirsk Oblast | West Siberian Railway tracks | Tracks destroyed | Freight trains halted, supply routes disrupted |
| 28 Nov 2025 | Unecha, Bryansk Oblast | Unecha junction depot | Two fuel/lubricant tanks destroyed, tracks damaged | Transport of fuel and military equipment disrupted |
Ukrainian intelligence assessments indicate that these operations have effectively hindered the logistical capabilities of the Russian occupation forces.
